pretty interesting situation that pertains to why federation of git forges is important. a Chinese forge did a mass import/mirror of a large portion of GitHub so it would have more content to start off with. this is basically the social graph problem but for code repositories. but if all the forge software had federation built in and they could query and reference each other then this would not be an issue in the first place.

@liaizon what’s the problem exactly? China wants its own copy?
